Childish name calling is you got. Go on get in your feelings over a tv show dude

Why have her go Mad Queen after taking heed to Tyrion? She heard the bells ring and had her go Dark Phoenix. Ionno bro.

Oh no. She definitely went all the way crazy breh. I’ll admit that. The people in KL didn’t deserve that. And anytime people talk about the “greater good”, some foul shyt about to happen. Just saying you can’t kill people’s friends and think it’s all gravy. Missandei dying pushed her over the edge. Cersei got what she wanted.

I just don't see Dany killing that many innocent people. Even with everything she lost she still wanted to rule & she knew the battle was over. It was the biggest character assassination of the series. We went from patient self sacrificing Queen that is obsessed with ruling to genocidal manic that could care less about ruling in a span of 1 EP and we just supposed accept that because hey Jon is probably gonna be on the throne now.......#Starkset

 

[LurkMoar]

So now all the ballista miss their shots and cant reload quickly?



Cmon son

 

[Knights89]

D&D told us they forgot about them
:mjzooted:

lmao

i think i'm holding off on more 'after the episodes' segments

 

[MarcP]

oh no, they're still doing that

Huh??

Nah bro they gotta shelve that shyt for good. The last thing I want is these nikkas writing more slave characters.

I went to a wedding, got home late but finished the episode just now. God damn it.

In terms of production, it was great. The Arya tracking stuff was amazing to watch, and had a great thriller/suspense feel to it. The music was amazing as well. Clegane Bowl was dope. Young Barry going ham was dope too. Qyburn's death made me

In terms of story...

Golden Company gets hyped up to go out like straight bytches.
How/when/why did Jamie become a prisoner?
Jamie's entire story arch was shyt. I don't see it playing out like this in the books, AT ALL.
Euron Greyjoy's death was cringeworthy.
Jon's buyers remorse while watching the entire city burning was hard to watch.
Where was Yara? Where was this new supposed Prince of Dorne?
Cersei's death was...unsatisfying.

They really should've just done the fukking Aegon/Young Griff storyline from the books

Childish name calling is you got. Go on get in your feelings over a tv show dude

I have no feelings to get into.

You must not know me around these parts of the internet
I just love chaos

 

[Black Magisterialness]

whether an episode is good or bad, This thread makes it better will be reading more replies tomorrow

A worse reaction woulda been if it just flopped like a dead fish. Hatred and Adulation operate on the same frequency, breh.

 

[Smokin Rider]

real Gs bend but dont break

This slut too emotional to play that warfare shyt..bytch gotta get off that dragon sometime and when she does

tyrion gonna be the one to take her out tho I think

Oh she gonna bend alright, bend that knee

 

[LurkMoar]

Throwing away jaimes arc just like that

 

[old pig]

Edit: Nevermind, it wasn't a toy car. Some elephant/pig looking figure on wheels

I stand corrected...thanks!

I do feel for StormBorn. Lost two dragons, her top advisor, and her ride or die right hand gal in a condensed period of time. Knows she ain't the true heir to the Iron Throne and that people in Westeros just view her as a foreigner.

shyt just wasn't ever meant to be for her, should've stayed in Essos.

Brehs dropping leaks in here

why even say anything? I promise no one knows the difference between a theory and a leak until one of yall comes in here and points it out.

The Arya scene was awesome but she shouldn’t have survived. Would have made the story so much more powerful.

Much more powerful. Would've really hammered the point home of Dany's actions, would've immediately turn Jon against Dany, would've turned the fan base against Danny...

But they copped out.

But why? To kill a mute, zombie monstrosity that doesn't feel pain? Why would that make him happy? Is it really even revenge to kill the husk of your enemy?

Basically what I'm getting at is there is no thematic resonance to it, and thus the entire sequence felt pointless with zero stakes. It was just an excuse for have Cleganebowl happen with fire and destruction all around them like a Mortal Kombat level. But even just looking at it as pure spectacle revenge fantasy, there was zero build up to it if you look at the Hound and his journey from season 3 onward. Yeah he hates his brother, but when was the last time his ethos was driven by this burning hatred to return to KL and kill his brother? They could have seeded in more fuel the last few seasons to build up to a climatic grudge match. Even one conversation with Arya while on the road to KL could have built some heat and anticipation. But like almost everything else in these shortened seasons, they just treated it like a plot point to check off.

I agree. It was pure fan service. It was cool but it was some real Hollywood shyt.
